The usual method of bringing analog inputs into a microprocessor is to use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Here are some tips for selecting such a part and calibrating it to fit your needs. In ...

This analog-to-digital converter (ADC) uses successive approximation register (SAR) architecture to achieve 12-bit resolution. The ADC includes internal sample/hold circuits, a capacitive DAC, ... The ...

Enter the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) with the ability to convert an external signal to a processor readable value.

The successive-approximation converter is one of the oldest and most widely used types of ADC. It’s commonly found in data-acquisition, industrial-control, and instrumentation applications ...

Successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters form a critical link between the analogue and digital realms in modern electronics. Operating through a binary search algorithm, ...

[Igor] made a VU meter with LEDs using 8 LEDs and 8 comparators. This is a fast way to get one of 8 bits to indicate an input voltage, but that’s only the equivalent of a 3-bit analog to digital ...

II. ADC Architecture Figure 1 shows the ADC architecture, not including the channel multiplexors. SAR ADCs typically consist of a DAC and a comparator in a feedback loop with logic including a ...

The three most popular ADC types generally found in analog front ends are successive-approximation (a), pipelined (b), and delta-sigma (c). These block diagrams represent extremely simplified concepts ...
